Get To It - Do It - Get Over It - Go Home

RUSTY STRAIT | SENIOR REPORTER

f the San Jacinto City Council could be paid a full salary 5 days a week for the time they spend meeting, it would be a plush job, indeed.

This past Tuesday night’s meeting was quick, sweet, rewarding and an excellent way to follow a jolly Fourth of July.

Even before the formalities began, folks were talking about the unusually loud and continuous rocket booms that went on into the late hours. Then the ceremonies began. It was difficult to discern whether the council in toto was either still up in the clouds

praising the parade the previous day or just so tired and worn out from all the Independence Day Activities. Whichever, the meeting did begin.

First, there were the preliminary formalities, i.e., Roll Call, Invocation, Pledge of Allegiance and Mayor/Council Reports. There were no public comments and very few from the Council Members. Mayor Ruiz seemed pleased to “just get on with it.”

The Consent Calendar came next: 1. Passed 5-0 with one councilman reclusing himself due to conflict of interest. City Council approved the City Council Regular Minutes of June 21, 2022.

2. City Council conducted the second reading and adopted Ordinance No. 22-07; AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN JACINTO LEVYING A SPECIAL TAX WITHIN CITY OF SAN JACINTO COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2003-1, INCLUDING CERTAIN ANNEXATION TERRITORY. 3. Passed 5-0, City Council conducted the second reading and approved Ordinance No. 22-06, Authorizing the Levy of Special Taxes of Community Facilities District No. 2820-1. ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN JACINTO AUTHORIZING THE LEVY OF

SPECIAL TAXES IN A COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT, INCLUDING CERTAIN ANNEXATION TERRITORY IDENTIFIED AS ANNEXATION NO. 5 (TAX ZONE NO. 6) INTO SAN JACINTO COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT. 4. Passed 5-0 ADOPT Resolution No. 3927, to initiate the Annexation of land generally located south of Ramona Expressway and north of Artesia Street between San Jacinto Avenue and Vernon Avenue, excluding the 44-acre site located at the southeast corner of Ramona Expressway and Alessandro Avenue; and AUTHORIZE staff to commence with the pre-zoning process for a 153-

s the Soboba Foundation fully supports education and the pursuit of higher education for all students within the San Jacinto Valley, the nonprofit honored eight local high school graduates with a $2,500 scholarship to give them a jumpstart on their higher education goals. Most of the checks and proclamations for each student were awarded during the individual school’s senior awards ceremonies, held prior to commencement.

The students who were chosen from among all eligible applicants were Elijah Brookes, San Jacinto High School; Erika Cortez, Tahquitz High; Jenna DeWit, Hemet High; Briahna Guadamuz, San Jacinto Valley Academy; Lanise Luna, Noli Indian School; Rafael Marquez, Hamilton High; Aristeo Mendoza Rojas, West Valley High; and Abigail Stevens, Alessandro High School.

“Earning this scholarship means a lot,” Elijah said. “I have many goals I want to achieve, but it is extremely difficult to do so with college being so expensive. I was lucky to be blessed as a winner of this

scholarship, making my life much easier, aiding me in the direction of success!”

fire that erupted on the front porch of a Riverside home burned one of the two seniors residing at the location, displacing both of them due to the extent of damage to their property, authorities said Tuesday.

The blaze was reported at 10:50 p.m. Monday in the 5400 block of Mitchell Street, near Spartan Road, according to the Riverside Fire Department.

Battalion Chief Pat Hopkins said two engine crews and a truck company, numbering just over a dozen firefighters, were dispatched and encountered flames raging on the front porch of the single-story residence, extending to a tree and the roof.

“There was also a large amount of stored goods near the front door burning,” Hopkins said. “An aggressive fire attack was initiated to control the fire and keep it from going into the interior.”

Paramedics found one of the occupants, identified only as an elderly man, suffering “moderate burn injuries to his hands and face,” the battalion chief said.

The man received treatment at the scene, but he declined to be taken to a hospital, according to Hopkins.

The other senior was not hurt.

“The home sustained moderate damage and was deemed uninhabitable due to major electrical issues,” Hopkins said.

The two occupants were displaced, and Red Cross personnel were requested to assist them with finding temporary alternate lodgings.

Hopkins said early indications were that an electrical malfunction sparked the fire, but the cause remained under investigation.

Governor Newsom Takes Action to Further Restrict Ghost Guns and Protect California Kids from Gun Violence

overnor Gavin Newsom, on June 30th, signed legislation to take on the gun industry and get more guns off California streets. Gun violence is the leading cause of death among children in the U.S. “From our schools to our parks to our homes, our kids deserve to be safe – in California, we’re making that a reality.

As the Supreme Court rolls back important gun safety protections and states across the country treat gun violence as inevitable, California is doubling down on commonsense gun safety measures that save lives,” said Governor Newsom. “The lives of our kids are at stake and we’re putting everything on the table to respond to this crisis.”

Governor Newsom signed AB 2571, prohibiting marketing of firearms to minors following re-

cent efforts by the gun industry to appeal to minors, like Wee 1 Tactical advertising the sale of a JR-15, an AR-15 meant for kids, complete with cartoon child skulls with pacifiers.

“Guns are not toys – they are deadly weapons,” said Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan (D-Orinda). “California has some of the strongest gun laws in the country and it is unconscionable that we still allow advertising weapons of war to our children. Our kids have a right to live long, happy lives, free of gun violence.”

Also Thursday, the Governor signed AB 1621, which further restricts ghost guns – firearms that are intentionally made untraceable – as well as the parts used to build them. Ghost guns have been called an “epidemic” by the Los Angeles Police Department, contributing to more than 100 violent crimes in Los Angeles last year alone.

THINGS TO DO There’s New Art All Over Riverside.

Here Are 4 Reasons to Plan a Trip there VISIT THE CHEECH MARIN CENTER Cheech Marin in Cheech. The 61,420-square-foot cultural facility opened its doors to the public on June 18.

Center will be home More than 550 paintings, drawings, sculptures and photographs from Marin’s personal collection, including works by artists such as Chaz Bjorkez, Judith Hernandez, Frank Romero and Patsy Valdez. The inaugural exhibition at the center, which is right across from the Mission Inn in downtown Riverside, began on June 18 with 100 pieces.

This isn’t the first time Marin’s staggering collection has been seen in Riverside. In 2017, the entertainer and activist’s touring collection, “Papel Chicano Dos: Works on Paper from the Collection of Chech Marin,” visited the Riverside Art Museum, my colleague Melissa Hernandez reported. Record breaking numbers visited the museum to see the exhibition.

“On each” [tour] Wait, I see all the crowds coming out—crowds that some cities didn’t even know they had—and with each stop, I felt the collection slipping out of my hands,” Marin told Hernandez. “It wasn’t strictly mine. It was mine, but it was no longer strictly mine. It belonged to the people who were watching it and whose story it was.”

Guests can visit the Cheech Marin Center daily this summer from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (with extended hours on select Thursdays). It will be closed on Tuesdays in August. Tickets cost $15.95 for adults.

MARVEL AT THE MISSION INN The Mission in International Rotunda was designed by architect G. Stanley Wilson and completed in 1931.

No big international travel this summer? You’ll find an eclectic helping of architectural exhibits brimming with international inspiration at the Mission Inn, listed

by Times Travel writer Christopher Reynolds. The 101 Best Experiences in California, Reynolds writes, “The Mission Inn stands out in the middle of Riverside the way Garth Brooks stands on an honky-tonk podium; it has 238 guest rooms, a spa, a Mexican restaurant, a tequila bar, an Italian restaurant, a steak-and-tonk podium, and a tequila bar. Fills a city block with seafood spots and (a lot).

Known for its Winter Festival of Lights, the Mission Inn can be viewed here Dust-Led Walking Tours, which show guests parts of the inn that are generally inaccessible to the public. The cost of a “historic tour” of the Mission Inn Foundation is $20 for adults and $15 for residents of Riverside or San Bernardino County.

Overnight stays start at $229. Can’t stay the night?

You can get a taste of the decor of the inn by booking dinner at the Mission Inn restaurant. Reynolds writes, “You can land at a courtyard table, surrounded by domes, towers, arches and buttresses.”

EAT AND SHOP YOUR WAY ACROSS TOWN A woman browses books outside a downtown book store in Riverside.

It’s a good idea to refuel before starting your day exploring the Cheech Marine Center and Mission Inn. In her story about the best way to spend Four Hours at RiversideMarantos recommends starting with Simple Simon Bakery & Bistro, just a few steps away from the inn. “Try to light a table outside the Main Street pedestrian mall,” she writes, “and sample at least one of their drool-worthy pastries or breads.” (The croissants are huge!)”

Save a little space for any breakfast you take from here Downtown Farmers Marketopen on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. “During the summer, expect a huge selection of microgreens, free-range meats and local cheeses, along with mostly organic produce,” Marantos writes. Head to Mom’s Specialty Foods for some hummus and pita and Old Town Baking Company to try their “mouth-watering” breads.

Want to keep shopping? Popping by Marantos is recommended Mrs. Tiggy winklesEstablished in 1974, “an eclectic mix of unique (and sometimes naughty) toys, kitchen items, vintage-style clothing, candles, soaps, cards, wallets, jewelry and holiday decorations to browse through.”

Woman who was convicted as teen for killing her sex trafficker pardoned by Gov. Newsom NATALIE NEYSA | CONTRIBUTED

alifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom has pardoned a victim of teen sex trafficking who spent nearly two decades in prison after she killed her abuser and pimp.

Sara Kruzan, 44, was 16 when she shot George G. Howard, 36, as he tried to sexually assault her at a motel in Riverside.

Kruzan, who has since become a national advocate for prison reform, was sex-trafficked by Howard for years, starting at age 13.

Efforts to have her conviction reduced and her freedom regained drew petitions and demonstrations organized in her name. Supporters included actresses Demi Moore and Mira Sorvino.

In Kruzan's pardon, issued by Newsom on Friday, the governor wrote she has "transformed her life and dedicated herself to community service. This act of clemency for Ms. Kruzan does not minimize or forgive her conduct or the harm it caused. It does recognize the work she has done since to transform herself."

In 1994, Kruzan shot Howard through the neck.

She stole his $1,500 cash and sports car and left him dying on the floor of the motel room.

In 1995, at age 17, she was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole after being convicted of first-degree murder, according to Newsom’s pardon.

Five years later, in December 2010, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger commuted Kruzan’s

sentence to 25 years to life, the pardon reads.

In 2013, Kruzan was resentenced to 15 years to life for second-degree murder plus a four-year firearm enhancement, a total term of 19 years to life. She was released after serving 18 years in prison.

In his pardon, Newsom wrote she "has provided evidence that she is living an upright life and has demonstrated her fitness for restoration of civic rights and responsibilities."

According to a release from the governor's office, Kruzan’s pardon was among 17 Newsom announced Friday, along with 15 commutations and one medical reprieve.

While in office, Newsom has granted 129 pardons, 123 commutations and 35 reprieves.

Her teachers described her as being sweet, caring, and dedicated and as well as possessing a high level of personal integrity with a positive, hard-working attitude that isn’t something that can be taught.

“I greatly appreciate the scholarship, which will significantly help with my financial goals at UCSD,” Jenna said. “I plan to use the Soboba Foundation scholarship to help pay for my tuition at UCSD. Receiving this money is so helpful for my finances, especially since UCSD is around $30,000 per year. I do not have the financial means to easily pay for the expenses of UCSD, so the money the Soboba Foundation has given me will truly help me continue to save for my tuition.”

Briahna Guadamuz was on the honor roll and singled out for excellence in history and English and will attend the University of Redlands to explore career options that will meet her desire to help people and the planet.

Lanise was recommended by her teacher for her maturity to understand her role in different situations, her consideration for others and her desire to make a difference in her community, which gives rise to the greater vision she has for her future self.

She was surprised by the Soboba Foundation during commencement, where she was presented with the scholarship. “I remember wanting to cry out of gratefulness when they called my name,” Lanise said. “This scholarship is going to help me a lot to continue furthering my education and dreams. I’m so grateful that I have a great support system and people who will help me achieve my goals.”

Rafael Marquez made “A” Honor Roll all four years, was a National Honor Society member and excelled as a three sport Varsity athlete in football, wrestling and

A teacher he worked with while a classroom aide said Aristeo’s positive personality is very contagious and uplifting and his strong leadership skills are admirable inside the classroom and within his community.

“This additional financial support helps my parents and I because it helps us release stress and weight off our shoulders and helps us to less worry about how we are going to pay for my future education,” Aristeo said.

Abigail Stevens maintained high grades and was honored as Student of the Month for her strong dedication. She will attend Mt. San Jacinto Community College on her path to becoming a social worker to counsel youth and encourage them to have a positive outlook on life and a desire to obtain it.

She was recommended by her physics teacher for accelerating through her coursework, stating Abigail will undoubtedly be successful in whatever path she follows.

ack in the day before social media took over, my family used to get a daily newspaper. As a kid, my favorite part of the paper was Dear Abby and the comics. Peanuts was one of my ‘daily feeds’ with its clever cast of characters plus the little pearls of wisdom thrown in. One memorable cartoon had Charlie Brown and a friend discussing the problems of life. After much debate, Charlie Brown declared his problem-solving philosophy. He simply said, “There’s no problem so big that I can’t run from it.”

Guess you could call Charlie Brown a “conflict avoider.”

I think there are a lot of “Charlie Brown’s” in the world right now. Things seem to be so upside down, it’s hard to know how to respond to life’s situations. So exactly what’s happened?

In a word, it’s postmodernism. Postmodernism is the belief that there are no universal truths or norms.

Literally, there are no absolutes and “to each his own” is the byword of the day.

Queen Esther in the Bible is best known for standing up to the evil of her time. She had an opportunity to help turn things around and was literally told, “Who knows but that you have come into the kingdom for such a time as this?” That has to go down as one of the most incredible pivot points of history, for indeed it was she who helped save the Jewish nation from annihilation.

I recently listened to a gal on social media - I was unable to catch her name but I was impressed with her no-nonsense approach in standing up for absolute truth in a world that’s as

The proliferation of ghost guns, which are intentionally untraceable weapons to evade law enforcement, has only worsened the issue,” said Assemblymember Mike Gipson (D-Carson). “Following the signing of AB 1621 into law, I applaud Governor Gavin Newsom for his leadership and unwavering commitment to eradicate the rampant wildfire of gun violence currently ravaging our streets and safe-havens.”

mixed up as a fruit smoothie. Here’s part of what she shared: “I never dreamed I would have to face the prospect of not living in the United States of America - at least the one I’ve known all my life. This is my home and I’m privileged to be born here. Today I woke up and realized that everything is about to change. Something evil has invaded our nation and our lives are never going to be the same.

I think I may well have entered the twilight zone.

We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind - you can’t justify this insanity. If a guy pretends to be a woman, you’re required to pretend with him. Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how may Americans are in America.

Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good. People who’ve never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who’ve never been slaves.

People who’ve never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees. Immigrants with TB and polio are welcome but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated. Irish doctors who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-banger who jumps the southern border is welcome.

If you cheat to get into college you go to prison but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free. People who say there’s no such thing as gender are demanding a female president. We see other countries going socialist and collapsing but it seems like a great plan to us. Some Earlier this month, Governor Newsom announced a record $156 million in gun violence prevention grants provided as part of the California Violence Intervention and Prevention Grant Program (CalVIP). The funding will support 79 cities and nonprofit organizations that are implementing anti-violence programs suited to the unique needs of their local communities.

California’s gun safety policies save lives and provide a national model for other states to follow.

Criminals are caught and released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it’s a violation of their rights - and pointing out this hypocrisy somehow makes us racist.

Nothing makes sense any more - not values, no morals, and no civility.

We’re clearly living in an upside down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, moral is immoral and immoral is moral: where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong but killing unborn babies is okay.”

We are in difficult days - this is no time for walking the line. St. Augustine (354-430) put it this way: “Right is right even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it.”

Our gal ends with this: “Wake up America - the great unsinkable ship - Titanic America - has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and is sinking. Speak up.”

Meanwhile, other states such as Florida and Texas, with lax gun regulations, saw double-digit increases in the rate of gun deaths. As a result of the actions taken by California, the state has cut its gun death rate in half and Californians are 25 percent less likely to die in a mass shooting compared to people in other states.

California Governor Gavin Newsom Signs New Budget Creating Nation’s First Tax Credit For Union Dues PATRICK GLEASON | CONTRIBUTED

I

n the most populous state in the U.S., California, leading politicians often talk about equity, equality, and their efforts to achieve both. Yet a tax break included in the new California state budget signed by Governor Gavin Newsom (D) on June 27 will exacerbate existing inequality in state taxation, critics contend.

California is one of only a handful of states where union dues are tax deductible for state income tax purposes. As part of the new state budget recently signed by Newsom, California lawmakers have made that targeted tax break even more valuable.

The new budget passed by lawmakers in mid-June and signed by Governor Newsom two weeks later will take California’s existing tax deduction for union dues payments and turn it into a tax credit capped at 33% of dues paid. Changing the deduction to a credit makes the union tax break more generous and benefits those who don’t itemize or have a tax liability.

“While union dues are currently tax deductible, union workers are more likely to not itemize their deductions and therefore do not get the same tax benefit for their dues that higher paid professions are more likely to get for their professional association dues,” notes the budget floor report. The creation of this new tax credit was praised by union leaders. In a statement released shortly after Governor Newsom signed the new budget, Amber Baur, executive director for The United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Western States Council, thanked Newsom and state legislators for “allowing workers to level the

playing field that tries to keep them at the bottom.”

This enhanced tax break for union members in the new California budget was dubbed the “Workers Tax Fairness Credit.” But critics claim fairness is an ironic word to use since the credit is not available to the vast majority of workers.

“In California, it’s ‘government of the unions, by the unions, for the unions,’” said Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. The union dues tax credit in the new budget boosts a tax break most workers can’t utilize because only 15.9% of the state’s workforce is unionized, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The enactment of the nation’s first state tax credit for union dues payments comes a few months after Democrats in Congress attempted to enact an above-the-line federal tax deduction for union dues payments that would be available even to taxpayers who do not itemize. Critics of that proposal, which was included in the Build Back Better spending package passed by the House of Representatives in 2021, point out it was targeted to benefit a small minority of workers who disproportionately donate to Democratic campaigns, as is the case for California’s new union dues tax credit.

“In effect, they’ve forced the 90% of workers in America who aren’t in a union to subsidize the dues of those who are,” said Representative Kevin Brady (R-Texas), House Ways and Means Committee ranking member, of the union dues deduction that congressional Democrats proposed but have thus far been unable to enact.

“By making union dues tax deductible, Democrats are essentially making it more financially viable for

people to contribute to organizations that help elect Democrats,” wrote Dominic Pino, a National Review Institute fellow, about the federal union dues deduction. The same argument could apply to the union dues tax credit in the new California budget. Pino and others who make this assertion can point to political spending data from Open Secrets, which shows 90% of union donations to federal campaigns during the 2020 election cycle were directed to Democrats.

Others, however, contend that changing the union dues deduction to a credit will make the tax benefit more progressive and apply more broadly than is currently the case.

“In general the move from a deduction to a credit will generally make the tax policy more progressive as the value of the tax expenditure will no longer be dependent on the tax rate faced,” said Kim Rueben, the Sol Price Fellow and director of the State & Local Finance Initiative at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center. “In a state like California this in general will be especially true given

the progressive nature of its state income tax and who owes income tax. This is especially the case in making it a refundable credit and not requiring the tax-payer to itemize. So the change would make the benefit available to a broader set of Californians and more equitable across different union workers within the state.”

While California lawmakers are strengthening a union tax break from which most Californians won’t benefit, there is an ongoing effort to use government union pension funds for political purposes. Senate Bill 1173, introduced by Senator Lena Gonzalez (D-Long Beach), would “prohibit the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) and the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS) from investing in fossil fuel companies, and require that they divest any current investments by 2027.”

Shadow 2024 race: Newsom vs. DeSantis JEREMY B. WHITE & GARY FINEOUT | CONTRIBUTED

F

orget Donald Trump versus Joe Biden. The biggest prelude to 2024 might just be the escalating back-and-forth between Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis.

The governors for California and Florida have hurled insults about each other’s leadership and policies during most of the Covid-19 pandemic. But now Newsom has ratcheted up the conflict by taking almost daily potshots at his Republican foils such as DeSantis and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Most recently, Newsom dropped more than $100,000 on a new ad airing on Fox News that tweaked DeSantis in his home state.

Fox-watching Floridians won’t likely switch their voter registration or move to California after seeing a TV spot in which Newsom warned

them “freedom is under attack in your state.” But the ad is producing a frenzy of national coverage that boosts Newsom’s profile while allowing DeSantis to sharpen his attacks on Democrats ahead of a possible 2024 White House bid.

The fight highlights how two young governors have captured the attention of their respective parties: On one side is Newsom, a progressive and telegenic leader who survived an attempted recall. On the other is DeSantis, who is often heralded as a more disciplined Donald Trump but who also has a penchant for populism and a refusal to back down from a fight.

“Most politicians operate best when they have somebody or something to contrast against, and there’s no bigger contrast to Gavin Newsom and California right now than Florida and Ron DeSantis,” said Jim Ross, a

Democratic consultant who ran Newsom’s first mayoral campaign.

Republicans’ response to Newsom is simple: Bring it on. They say they would love a chance to highlight California’s homelessness crisis, shrinking population and other factors that make it a regular GOP punching bag.

“Egotistical Gavin Newsom is desperate for relevance and attention,” said Christian Ziegler, vice chair of the Republican Party of Florida and a Sarasota County commissioner. “This ad will have zero impact on anything going on in Florida — both in terms of policy and politics.

And the only one losing sleep over this ad won’t be Ron DeSantis, but instead Joe Biden will lose midday nap time over this as it clearly shows that Newsom is positioning himself to take on the Democratic president.”

Anthony Pedicini, a GOP campaign consultant in Flor-

ida, quipped that “you don’t see many people from Florida leaving to move to California. Newsom should focus on fixing California and leave Florida to the guy that got it right — Ron DeSantis.”

For Newsom, the recent feud fused an old approach with new urgency. He has always relished lambasting red-state governors to create a contrast with California’s progressive agenda. Florida has been a favorite target.

Newsom regularly derided the state’s lax approach to the coronavirus as he touted California’s more-stringent strategy. DeSantis’s emergence as a national figure and presidential contender has further fueled that antagonism.

Newsom has intensified his attacks on both Republican elected officials and the U.S. Supreme Court after the high court handed down landmark opinions on guns, abortion and the environment that were anathema for

California Democrats. Newsom announced he was signing gun restrictions last week with a Twitter video directed squarely at his opponents.

“To members of the United States Supreme Court, to right-wing Republicans all across this country: do you have no common decency?” he asked.

It also allowed Newsom to continue seeking to shape the national Democratic Party’s tactics. The governor has already publicly assailed Democrats’ approach to abortion

rights as too timorous, asking “where the hell is my party?”

“Governor Newsom believes now is not the time for Democrats to roll over and accept defeat. Now is the time for Democrats to fight,” campaign spokesperson Nathan Click said in an emailed statement.

GUEST OPINION

The Supreme Court is Swimming in Murky Waters RUSTY STRAIT | SENIOR REPORTER

Where I grew up we were taught to respect the United States Supreme Court because that was the word of truth. Over the years I’ve watched the court hand down decisions that widened our scope of freedom.

Stari decisis was something etched into marble.

Brown vs. the Board of Education; Roe vs Wade, contraception, gay rights, same sex marriage, freedom to marry across color lines. Suddenly, the whole thing is blowing up in our faces. The leaking of the first draft to overturn Roe vs.

Wade was the precursor of more, much more to come.

Perhaps some or a lot of us are naive. They wouldn’t do that.

Of course not. Didn’t the three judges appointed by President Trump sit before a Congressional committee and say it was settled law and didn’t need to be changed.

How hypocritical can a court get? There is an old adage that tells us that what you say and what you do might be two different things. Well now, isn’t that the truth. Who do you believe? The lying justices or President Trump who stated quite emphatically that he would only nominate justices to the Supreme Court who would vote to reverse that decision.

Folks, I believe we have been hoodwinked. It is only the beginning. We will soon (men and women alike) no longer have control of our bodies, beliefs and actions.

You think not? This movement has already begun to erase at least a hundred years of fighting for freedom to manage our own lives without political interference.

Maybe we all missed the message. In March of this year, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas spoke at a function sponsored by Utah Senator Orrin Hatch. He said political rhetoric about rigging the court’s structure to produce specific political outcomes is damaging. He was against such actions then, but isn’t that exactly what the Republican appointees to the court have done and will

continue to do until we are thrown back into the middle ages?

He said that a court structured to be a rubber stamp is “no court at all.” He apparently doesn’t subscribe to that suggestion today because the 6 to 3 Republican Majority on the court has totally politicized it to be a rubber stamp for right-wing and religious beliefs. Anyone who believes the Supreme Court hasn’t been politicized is smoking something way beyond pot.

The Supreme court is supposed to protect our rights, not rip them out of our being with a vote. We have rights that were given to us by the courts as times changed, as has society.

Justice Thomas now has cohorts to help him decide what rights we should be allowed.

Justices Stephen G. Breyer, Sonia Sotomayer and Elena Kagan noted in their dissent against the overturning of Roe, stated, “No one should be confident that this majority is done with its work.”

What else is on Justice Thomas’ bucket list? Restrictions on contraception? Samesex relationships? Same-sex marriage? The current court could possibly weaken Congress’ ability to make new laws.

As I have written many times, you will not appreciate the freedoms you have until you don’t have them anymore. So beware. Vote wisely.

And by the way, there was a time when one could not cross the color lines in the United States. No co-habitation. No weddings. I wonder if that is also on Justice Thomas’ list of laws to repeal? Just sayin’

President Gavin Newsom? California’s governor repeatedly insists that he’s not interested.

“I don’t know how many times you can say no in ways that others don’t say no,” he told one journalist who asked the question recently.”

“Yeah, I mean, I have sub-zero interest,” Newsom told another. “It’s not even on my radar.”

That’s what he would say if he is truly not interested in mounting a run for the White House. But at this stage, it’s also what he would say were he interested, so the denials lack face value.

Newsom has patiently climbed the political ladder one

California cuts cannabis taxes to heal ailing industry ALEXEI KOSEFF | CONTRIBUTED

C

alifornia is significantly overhauling its cannabis tax structure, including entirely eliminating a tax on growers, in an effort to boost a struggling legal industry begging for relief.

The changes, which were adopted last week as part of a broader state budget agreement, will also create tax credits for some cannabis businesses, expand labor rights within the industry and switch collection of a state excise tax from distributors to retailers.

That tax will pause at 15% for three years, after which regulators could raise the rate to recoup lost revenue from discontinuing the cultivation tax.

Prominent cannabis industry groups praised the plan for its potential to lower costs and help make legal sales more competitive with an illicit market that remains robust six years after California voters legalized recreational marijuana. Yet even as the measure won overwhelming approval in the Legislature, it was met with vocal discontent from retailers who say they will not benefit and several lawmakers who complained that it did not do enough to address ongoing racial disparities in the industry.

While efforts to secure further assistance from the state may continue, they seem unlikely to gain favor any time soon with Gov. Gavin Newsom, who signed the tax revision on Thursday.

“I’m incredibly proud of this bill. It accomplishes an incredible amount of things for the betterment of all Californians,” Nicole Elliott, director of the Department of Cannabis Control and Newsom’s top cannabis adviser, told CalMatters.

“So I think we need to take a moment to reflect on the fact that something great got done.”

ELIMINATING CULTIVATION TAX WAS A PRIORITY Amy Jenkins, a lobbyist for the California Cannabis Industry Association who was heavily involved in the negotiations, said zeroing out the cultivation tax was a priority for the legal industry — something it has sought for three years.

Growers complained that the tax, a flat $10.08 per ounce for flowers, was

making it difficult to keep operating as prices tumbled from a glut of weed and not enough dispensaries to sell it. Wholesale prices have dropped by as much as 50% over the past year, particularly squeezing farmers whose outdoor crops sell for less and forcing many smaller operations to close down.

“Any delays in that happening was something that we were not able to accept,” Jenkins said.

Supporters hope that eliminating the cultivation tax could have a beneficial ripple effect through the legal market, lowering costs that compound for consumers through the wholesale price, the excise tax and sales taxes.

It could also turn plant trimmings, which were taxed at $3 per ounce for leaves, into another viable commodity for farmers, said Genine Coleman, founder of the Origins Council, an advocacy group representing cannabis businesses in the historic Northern California growing region known as the Emerald Triangle.

The leaves can be useful for manufactured products such as creams.

“It’s incredible to have the cultivation tax eliminated,” she said. “It had become so untenable.”

Coleman said the tax restructuring package was about as good as she could have hoped for, given the constraints of Proposition 64, the 2016 legalization measure that earmarked cannabis tax revenue for child care slots, environmental cleanup and impaired driving prevention efforts.

Newsom pushed for a revenue-neutral approach to protect funding levels for those programs. The budget includes $150 million to backfill any shortfalls in the next three years, before the state can begin raising the excise tax.

DEBATE OVER EXCISE TAX CONTINUES But that looming tax

increase is a major disappointment for many in the industry, who say taxes must be cut even further for legal cannabis to ever compete on price with the illicit market.

Coleman pointed to other major regulatory expenses for growers, including licensing fees and environmental compliance requirements. She also wants the state to play a larger role in opening up retail opportunities that remain prohibited in most jurisdictions in California.

“It’s not enough at all.

And it’s just simple math,” she said. “Our position has always been: We need tax reform and.”

Jenkins, the industry lobbyist, said the threeyear pause on the excise tax rate buys advocates more time to press their case.

Moving collection from distributors to the point of sale, where products can be taxed on the actual purchase price rather than an assumed 80% retail markup, will improve accuracy.

Jenkins believes that tax revenues could actually rise as a result, giving the industry an argument against raising the excise tax and potentially even to lower it.

“We have three more years to fight that fight,” she said.

‘CRUMBS’ FOR SOCIAL EQUITY LICENSEES Cannabis retailers, who did not receive a direct tax cut like growers, have expressed far more dissatisfaction with the deal. And advocates for social equity operators — who received their licenses through local programs intended to diversify the industry with more people of color, formerly incarcerated people and residents of neighborhoods with historically disproportionate cannabis arrest rates — have been particularly blistering in their criticism.

“What we’ve gotten are

essentially crumbs from this bill,” said Amber Senter, executive director of the advocacy group Supernova Women, who organized several rallies at the state Capitol this year. “The cultivators will see relief, they will see a little bit more money in their pockets, and none of that is going to trickle down.”

The deal will allow equity licensees to get a $10,000 tax credit and keep a fifth of the excise tax revenue they collect for the next few years. But advocates had lobbied for more sweeping aid, such as a suspension of the excise tax altogether, to give their businesses a greater opportunity to establish a foothold.

Senter dismissed the tax credit as token assistance that would not even cover the cost of licensing fees.

She also expressed concern about another provision that could have far greater significance in the long run: Starting in 2024, the plan lowers the threshold to 10 employees for businesses that must enter into labor peace agreements, thereby providing unions access to communicate with and attempt to organize their workers.

“Small businesses cannot be unionized,” Senter said. “This is going to crush small businesses.”

SOME LEGISLATORS WANT MORE ACTION As the bill came before the Legislature last week, several lawmakers spoke out on the floor against what they said was insufficient aid for cannabis retailers and equity operators, including state Sen. Steven Bradford, a Gardena Democrat who introduced legislation this session to reduce the excise tax. He called the provisions for equity operators “minimal and insulting” and was one of only a handful of legislators not to vote for the measure.

In an interview, Bradford expressed frustration that the cultivation tax was completely eliminated for growers, who are overwhelmingly white, while equity licensees received far less. He said he worried that plan would only deepen racial disparities in the industry, where Black and brown communities targeted during the war on drugs have struggled to thrive.

“That’s a hard pill to swallow,” he said. “At some point, when are we going to put the real weight and work behind what we all say exists?”

NEW BUDGET from B1

would take were state lawmakers to pass SB 1173.

Fischel’s report, which looked at 11 of the top pension funds, quantified the financial harm caused by pension divestment from fossil fuels. According to Professor Fischel’s research, funds narrowly divested from fossil fuels see an annual shortfall of 0.15%,

Thursday, July 7 - Wednesday, July 13, 2022 while funds broadly divested face an annual shortfall of 0.2%. Though that may not sound like a significant impact to many, it makes a tremendous difference to pension funds, translating into billions of dollars in forgone gains.

California’s government worker pension systems already face combined unfunded liabilities projected to exceed $1 trillion.

California taxpayers, who

already toil under one of the nation’s heftiest tax burdens, are on the hook for this shortfall. By reducing investment returns, divesting state pension funds from fossil fuels would cause these large unfunded liabilities to grow further, which is bad news for both union pensioners and all California taxpayers.

Though SB 1173 passed out of the Senate, it was pulled on June 21 by As-

semblyman Jim Cooper (D-Elk Grove), who chairs the Assembly Committee on Public Employment and Retirement. Critics of SB 1173 argued, effectively it appears given the bill’s death, that union retirees and all California taxpayers would be harmed if state pension funds divested from fossil fuels. Similar fossil fuel pension divestment proposals have been rejected in other blue states

for the same reason.

The first half of 2022 was a mixed bag for California taxpayers who don’t want the state to inflict more costs upon households and the economy. Pensioners and the taxpayers who are on the hook for unfunded government pension liabilities don’t have to worry about pension returns being diminished by fossil fuel divestment, at least for the time being. Many

Californians, however, are unlikely to appreciate the fact that Governor Newsom and state legislators created a new tax credit that is unavailable to 84% of Golden State workers.

For all the talk about equity & equality coming from the state’s most powerful politicians, California’s new budget takes the state tax code’s already unequal treatment of workers and worsens it.

might as well light a pile of cash on fire. Pass the popcorn for his desperate attempt to win back the California refugees who fled the hellhole he created in his state to come to Florida.”

Basic campaign math, however, made the Florida jab a worthy investment for Newsom. It cost less than a percentage point of a 2022 reelection account containing around $20 million. With a second term all but assured, Newsom diverted that mon-

ey elsewhere and made a bigger splash than he likely would have with a conventional California ad. As of Tuesday, the Twitter video had more than three million views.

“For $100,000 you got a million dollars’ worth of attention,” Democratic consultant Steve Maviglio said, with “coast to coast tongue wagging.”

While many Democrats nationally chimed in with a favorable opinion of New-

som’s jab, one of the Democrats actually running against DeSantis this year wasn’t as enthused about it.

“We’ll take all the help we can get, but the message shouldn’t be about leaving Florida, it’s about fighting for the state that we all love and exposing Ron DeSantis’ failures on our economy, housing, and freedoms,” said Democratic Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, who has been trailing her Democratic primary opponent Rep. Charlie Crist (D-Fla.). “We don’t want Floridians to leave — we want them to join us as we defend our freedoms and our democracy.”

Denying White House interest has become a regular exercise for the clearly ambitious Newsom. The governor and his team dutifully rejected the notion that the ongoing feud with Republicans and recent ad in Florida was a warm-up for a presidential run. Click said he was “abso-

lutely not” exploring a 2024 campaign and pointed to the governor’s previous comment that he had “subzero interest.” Newsom would face a narrow path, likely needing to challenge Vice President Kamala Harris — a fellow Californian with an overlapping base — should Biden not run again.

DeSantis too regularly shoots down questions over his 2024 aspirations, saying he is focused on his November reelection. The Florida governor has more than $100 million in funds from big-money donors as well as small-dollar donations from individuals in all 50 states. He has topped Trump in a series of straw polls and isn’t asking the former president for an endorsement .

Nevertheless, the ongoing fight underscores what “might conceivably be a marquee 2024 matchup” if “all the dominoes fall in the right direction,” Democratic political consultant Maviglio

said. That helped generate additional interest as national pundits and politicians rushed to analyze what it meant.

Whether or not Newsom runs for president, the national spotlight could bolster his standing in California as he approaches a likely final term by allowing him to “demonstrate political strength” and elevate issues that resonate with voters, Ross said.

“We’ve seen it with governors in California where they get re-elected, they go into their second term and pretty quickly they become less and less relevant because everyone else is lining up to run,” Ross.

“There’s too many what-ifs to make this a declaration for president. I think it’s a declaration of ‘I want to create some political capital and political strength’ that you can use for other things, that you can use for whatever.”

governor this year.

Having devoted nearly half his 54 years to that climb and having portrayed himself as a political innovator, why wouldn’t he look in his shaving mirror and see a president staring back?

The recent flare of national media speculation was ignited by Newsom himself as he criticized his own party’s passivity to the surge of conservative – and mostly Republian – victories in political and judicial arenas and fired rhetorical broadsides at prominent GOP figures and red states.

“Where the hell is my par-

ty? Where’s the Democratic Party? You guys paying attention to what’s going on?”

Newsom asked abortion rights activists after a Supreme Court decision repealing the Roe v. Wade ruling was leaked. “Why aren’t we standing up more firmly, more resolutely? Why aren’t we calling this out? This is a concerted, coordinated effort. And, yes, they’re winning. They are. They have been. Let’s acknowledge that.

We need to stand up. Where’s the counteroffensive?”

Just last weekend, Newsom spent a few dollars on a Fox News TV spot in Florida,

sniping at the state’s policies and its Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, who’s making presidential noises himself.

“Freedom is under attack in your state,” Newsom told Floridians. “I urge all of you living in Florida to join us in the fight or join us in California.”

The ad probably had zero impact in Florida, but once again fueled speculation about Newsom’s true motives.

In a mid-June Atlantic magazine article, veteran political journalist Ronald Brownstein anointed Newsom as the man on a white

horse galloping to the Democratic Party’s rescue. The conservative gains, Brownstein wrote, created a “job opening” for a Democratic leader. “Newsom isn’t the only Democrat who could step into the void,” Brownstein wrote. “But he is perhaps the best person to do so…”

The Brownstein article inspired a flurry of speculation by other national journalists about Newsom.

Are his actions merely aimed at goading his party into being more aggressive on such issues as abortion rights and gun control, as he

insists, or is he also laying the foundation for a presidential campaign, either in 2024 or 2028?

A 2024 bid would hinge on President Joe Biden’s opting out of re-election and Vice President Kamala Harris – another Willie Brown protégé – once again stumbling while seeking the presidency.

To play a longer game, Newsom would need a position beyond ex-governor, such as the Senate seat that Dianne Feinstein is likely to vacate two years hence.

Or maybe he’ll just go back to peddling wine.

more of his energy of late on Biden, bashing him over everything from immigration to gas prices as he also opened up battles over education and gender identity. But California — and by extension Newsom — has also been a favorite source of criticism. In the last month, DeSantis has routinely cited the recall of San Francisco’s district attorney to highlight what he calls a growing backlash to liberal policies. He also started a much-publicized feud with California-based Walt Disney Co. over the entertainment giant’s opposition to a Florida law that bans classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity for kids in kindergarten through third grade.

DeSantis campaign spokesperson Dave Abrams, in a statement, derided the California governor’s ad by saying that “Gavin Newsom

He handily survived a recall election last year and is certain to win a second term as

here are so many reasons I miss living in California, beyond the fact that it is my home. And one of those reasons is Idyllwild.

If you’ve never been to Idyllwild I honestly feel bad for you, but if you have, you know exactly what I’m talking about. If you’re unsure what Idyllwild is, it’s the most beautiful town located just beyond San Jacinto, California.

Most people that come to Idyllwild come for the nature, the camping and just the atmosphere.

There’s a lot to do here with hiking trails, rock climbing mountain biking five separate restaurants. It’s easy to spend a full day exploring the beauty of Idlewild. In fact, there’s so much to do in Idyllwild you might even want to spend a few days here. And that is where the Strawberry Creek Inn comes in. This charming bed-and-breakfast has many strong reviews on sites like Tripadvisor and Hotel.com, and build itself as a “tranquil retreat that will rejuvenate your spirit and body."

Creek Inn considered to be so haunted?

The Inn offers beautiful homemade meals and treats like scones and quiche. Guests can also enjoy eggs from the hens on property and fresh honey.

The end also takes “hypoallergenic and environ-

mentally friendly aspects” into account. And while pets aren’t allowed at the main building, they are allowed at the Strawberry Creek bunkhouse, which is only a couple miles away and is owned by the same owners as the inn.

The bedrooms are all

themed to capture the “rustic beauty of Idyllwild California quote and give the visitor the feel of staying in a luxury cabin like a famous writer going out into the piece to write the next great American novel.

I love it.

But what I love more is that the sweet bed-andbreakfast is it’s apparently incredibly haunted.

Originally, the building that served as a hub for the Strawberry Creek Inn bedand-breakfast belonged to a man named Thomas who built it himself in the 1940s. This information comes from Rodney Williams and Ian Scott, who’ve owned the inn since 2004.

According to them, the house used to be a restaurant and had an antique shop upstairs. And in 1935, a cottage was added to the property as a home.

And it seems there is one spirit that has stayed behind all these years. And investigators said that she has a big crush on Rodney.

The spirit in question has a few different names: “Jane, Janet, or Jade”. (The group says that she is “a bit vague on that subject”.)

CALIFORNIA STATE

State bill requires removal of ‘racial covenants’ from California property records Racist housing rules no longer enforceable, but a reminder of past discrimination ETHAN VARIAN | CONTRIBUTED

U

nder a new state law, counties must now work to purge their property records of decades-old racist language that once banned people of color from buying homes in neighborhoods across California.

Starting July 1, the law also requires real estate agents and services to notify homebuyers if any such bans — called racially restrictive covenants — are known to be tied to a property and to help redact the unlawful rules.

While the covenants were deemed unenforceable by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1948, racial justice advocates say removing the racist language is necessary to confront the region’s painful history of discrimination.

“This law brings awareness to the fact that the covenants are not only our legacy but that their remnants are still in practice,” said Tomiquia Moss, founder of the Bay Area advocacy group All Home, which pushed for the bill’s passage last year.

In the first half of the 20th century, it was common practice for developers and homeowners’ associations throughout the country to include covenants in deeds and other property records to bar specific races and groups of people from moving

Eileen Bissen’s property title document which includes offensive language is photographed before being submitting with a modification form at the Contra Costa County Recorder’s Office in Martinez, Calif., on Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2019.

into certain homes. In the Bay Area, restrictive covenants remain on the books in neighborhoods from the Oakland Hills to Redwood City and beyond.

Some property records include language such as “no person of any race other than the Caucasian or white race” may use or occupy the property, with the exception of “domestic servants of a different

race domiciled with an owner or tenant.”

Other covenants from that era specifically prohibit residents of “African, Mongolian or Japanese” descent.

Restrictive covenants — along with discriminatory zoning laws and other practices — contributed to the lasting wealth gap between Whites and people of color, experts say. As

minority families were excluded from the housing market, they were often prevented from moving to areas with more resources and from building equity in their homes, a stepping stone to wealth that can be passed down over generations.

“Racial residential segregation in the Bay Area is not natural or simply a matter of individual

preferences and actions,” states a 2019 report by UC Berkeley’s Othering and Belonging Institute. “Today’s patterns are partially the result of a wide range of coordinated tactics used to perpetuate racial exclusion prior to the enactment of state and federal fair housing legislation.”

In 2000, California set up a process for homeowners to strike racist lan-

guage from property records. The state’s new law, Assembly Bill 1466, now allows anyone, even those who don’t own or live in properties with racial covenants, to file a form requesting county officials redact the language.

The law also requires real estate agents, title companies and escrow

RIVERSIDE COUNTY

Inland Empire housing affordability drops

Photo by Freepik

Several factors, starting with high prices and not enough houses being built, have caused the median price of home to fall out of reach for more residents, according to a UC Riverside study IE BUSINESS DAILY | CONTRIBUTED

T

he Inland Empire, for years one of Southern California’s most affordable housing markets, may no longer be so affordable.

Only 31 percent of households in Riverside and San Bernardino counties could afford to buy a median-priced home – $544,000 – during the first quarter of 2022, down from 39 percent in the first quarter of 2021, according to a recent study compiled by the UC Riverside School of Business Center for Economic Forecasting and Development.

The Inland Empire is still well ahead of California in housing affordability. Only 24 percent of the state’s households could afford a median-priced home in the second quarter.

But the eight percent affordability drop in the Inland region casts a shadow over the local housing market, which was one of the Inland economy’s few

bright spots during the pandemic.

During the worst of COVID-19, home prices grew faster in the two-county region than in more affluent California markets, but that affordability has eroded as a result of higher mortgage rates and an endless demand for housing statewide, the report found.

“This is what affordability looks like in California,” said Taner Osman, research manager at the center for economic forecasting and a co-author of the report, in a statement that accompanied the report’s release. “Housing prices are at the crux of the state’s high cost of living and are out of reach to the majority of the population, as supply severely lags demand.”

To put those numbers in perspective, 45 percent of U.S. households could afford a median-priced home in May, according to the report.

“The contrast with the nation overall is stark,” Osman said in the statement.

One reason for the drop in affordability is that Inland home prices keep rising.

From first quarter 2021 to the first quarter of this year, home prices in the Inland Empire rose 19.4 percent, the report states. That was stronger growth than Los Angeles County (12 percent) and San Diego County (19.1 percent), but slower than Orange County’s 25 percent growth rate during that time.

Residential construction in the Inland Empire grew 40 percent year-over-year in the first quarter of this year, with 1,008 multi-family building permits and 3,832 single-family building permits issued during that time.

That was an increase of of 171 percent and 24 percent, respectively, compared with the first quarter of 2021.

As of April, there were 1.7 months of housing supply available for purchase in Riverside County and 2.2

services to alert a homebuyer if they’re aware restrictive covenants are attached to a property.

Ramesh Rao, a real estate agent in the South Bay, said the new rules shouldn’t be difficult to accommodate.

“We already give a number of advisories to sellers and buyers in any transaction, and we’ll be adding one more advisory to that effect,” Rao said.

To comply with the law, county recorder’s offices across the Bay Area are setting up programs to identify and redact covenants from their millions of property records dating back to the 1800s.

Matt Yankee, chief of the Alameda County Clerk-Recorder’s Office, said his staff plans to use special software to help

months in San Bernardino County, according to the report.

That means that if houses, new or used, were to stop being put up for sale, what houses remained on the market would be bought in about a month and a half to a little more than two months.

A balanced housing market typically has six to seven months of supply, the report states Despite the limited inventory, demand for housing remain strong, a trend that was accelerated by the federal pandemic stimulus and shows no sign of slowing.

“In a lot of ways, we’ve become desensitized high housing prices,” Osman said.

The affordability gap will probably get worse before it starts to turn around, says one economist who has been tracking the Inland economy for years.

digitize, review and remove racial covenants from the majority of recorded county property records within five years, and manually go through the remaining older documents that can’t be read by a computer. The agency also aims to allow residents to alert officials to racist language through its public records portal.

“We hope to have some kind of ‘report this document’ button,” Yankee said. “We want to know right away to take immediate action.”

But Stephen Menendian, a researcher with the Othering and Belonging Institute, worries that redacting the language from property records could hinder efforts to study and map restrictive covenants in the state. The University of Washington found more than 20,000 properties in the Seattle area with racial covenants, the Seattle

Times reported in 2019.

“This is going to make it so much harder to know the extent of racial covenants in California,” Menendian said.

Yankee said redacted records will still be identified by a cover page noting a covenant has been removed. Original copies can also be accessed by a public records request, according to the text of the bill.

Moss, with the advocacy group All Home, said she wants officials and Realtors associations to do more to inform the public about the new law, as well as work to prevent any ongoing fair housing violations – such as potential discrimination in home appraisals or mortgage lending.

“This is saying we know it happened, we know it’s still happening,” Moss said, “and we’re doing something about it.”

pire housing market will be fine in the long run, but for now the region keeps adding population and not enough houses are being built,” said Robert Kleinhenz, an independent economic consultant in Long Beach. “It’s simple arithmetic.”

The Inland Empire Regional Intelligence Report is the latest in a series of studies done by the forecasting center to determine how the Inland Empire has recovered from COVID-19.

Besides the housing market – which the report labels a “bright spot” despite the eight point drop in affordability – the report looks at the local labor and commercial real markets, and its findings are generally positive.

Despite fears of a recession, the region’s short-term economic outlook is strong.

Its 3.7 percent unemployment rate is four percentage points lower than it was before the pandemic, and more than 280,000 jobs have been added within the region since April 2020.

That more than covers

the 228,000 jobs that were lost due to business closures caused by the pandemic, the report states.

Taxable sales receipts have gone up 23.8 percent during the past year, a surge caused mostly high by fuel prices and more spending in the business and industrial category, where receipts went up 57 percent.

Inland wage growth has also been solid: up 3.1 percent in Riverside County between the third quarter of 2020, and up 1.7 percent in San Bernardino County. However, real wages fell during that time because of inflation.

The Inland industrial market remained strong during the worst of the pandemic.

As of the first quarter of this year, the industrial vacancy rate fell to 3.2 percent despite 34.6 million square feet of space coming online during the quarter. Warehouse space for e-commerce goods has become more scarce, and asking rents in the Inland Empire grew 6.3 percent, according to the report.

Covid concerns: Should we be worried about SAE club goes to the track a spike in cases after the holiday weekend? in Formula competition SAMANTHA LOMIBAO | CONTRIBUTED

ovid-19 cases are back up across Riverside County. There have been more than 4,200 cases countywide since Friday.

In Palm Springs, the amount of Covid-19 in wastewater (June 27-28) rose by nearly 30% compared to the samples taken the week before.

Should we be concerned about the increase after the holiday weekend?

“For the last month or so month and a halftwo months, we’ve had a steady increase in cases in general,” said Jose Arballo Jr., spokesperson for Riverside University Health System.

nationwide, and here at home, gathered together for the holiday weekend.

We could expect to see even more.

“It takes about three to five days before you’ll see some symptoms, people get a test,” Arballo Jr. added, “If history is any indication, we’re likely to see a bump in the next 10 to 15 days.”

Not to mention the in-

crease in at-home testing.

Often times, positive cases from at-home tests are reported to the county. You can report your results here.

“Our data team tells us it would be a guess it could be anywhere from 10% to 30%. They tell us, but then even that, and they acknowledge it’s a guess.”

Fortunately, the symptoms of the new variant tend to not be as severe

as we’ve seen in the pastbut it seems to be more contagious. “More people are vaccinated more than once in many cases. And that could provide the protection they need to keep them from getting seriously ill.”

Although many are ready to put the pandemic in the past, officials urge you to mask up indoors, get tested and get vaccinated.

“If you’re going to a movie theater or if you’re going to places when you’re indoors. And you don’t know the vaccine status of those that are around you. We would encourage you to wear a mask, and also get vaccinated again there’s there’s still plenty of vaccine,” Arballo said.

he Riverside Sheriff Department said that they will go through the proper channels to determine if they can give us the information we need regarding the data usage of Illegal Firework in the Coachella Valley. Sergeant Edward Soto said, “The information you inquired of is not directly reported to the Media Information Bureau. For this reason, I will have reach out to the Thermal Station Administration to determine if the contract cities will approve the release of statistics. If approved, I will then follow-up with the Crime Analyst”. Sergeant Soto did inform us that the process could take several days.

In the meantime, Riverside County released that a team of law enforcement agencies across Riverside County shared pictures with news channel three, saying just three men from Coachella valley were found with a total of more than 18 hundred pounds.

Also, one suspect had a gun and ammunition.

In Indio, the police department did make an ar-

rest based on information, Someone selling fireworks.

The PIO, Ben Guitron did share with us that they covered calls leading up to the Fourth of July. Guitron says “it affected a lot of cities in the valley. But we did our part”.

He also shared with us that last year, there was a large number of complaints, as well as the year before, during COVID. Guitron says, “A matter of

fact, throughout Southern California, the increase in illegal fireworks was a big deal”.

In Palm Springs, Leitenient Araiza says, “the initial complaint started coming on July 2, where we got four different complaints.

There was nobody located or identified or arrested”.

The Palm Springs police department received 29 calls of complaints over the holiday weekend.

CRIME & INCIDENTS

Man in custody after being caught on camera firing into police station in Riverside IRIS SALEM | CONTRIBUTED

A 20-year-old man is in custody in connection with a drive-by shooting at a police station in Riverside, police said.

The shooting unfolded on June 4th at the station on Magnolia Avenue. It was there that authorities say a black Chrysler

300 entered the parking lot, pulled up to the front lobby, and a driver was caught on video firing one shot into the front lobby through the passenger window.

Police said that a police custodian had been cleaning the front lobby at the time when he heard a loud noise but was not sure of

its origin. Days later, a bullet strike was discovered on the front entry door frame.

“The bullet hit the front door and travelled through the lobby and struck the front counter ballistic glass. The projectile then ricocheted up and landed on the second floor opening,” police said

in a news release.

After reviewing surveillance video, officers were able to identify the vehicle’s license plate. The vehicle’s registered owner, Brian Roman of Riverside, was charged in connection with the crime.

He was being held on $500,000 bail. No one was physically injured.

CBU | CONTRIBUTED

T

he Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) club at California Baptist University traveled to the Michigan International Speedway for the annual Formula SAE Competition held June 15-18.

CBU entered two vehicles this year: Lancer 5, an internal combustion entry and, for the first time, an electric vehicle (EV), eLancer 1. The internal combustion car won first place for fuel efficiency and placed ninth overall, beating schools such as Cal Poly Pomona; University of California, Berkeley; and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

The 2022 competition had 49 universities participating, nearly a 50 percent increase from previous years.

“It was not without challenges,” said Dr. Phil van Haaster, club advisor and dean of the Gordon and Jill Bourns College of Engineering. “Day one inspections revealed some minor faults that required corrections.

Even minor issues take time to correct and there are hundreds of moving parts.

The team’s efforts lasted past 2 a.m. with a wakeup call at 6 a.m. Their hard work and tenacity paid off.”

The SAE competition included presentations on cost and design as well as dynamic events such as acceleration and autocross. On day four, the internal combustion vehicle was on the track for the endurance event, outlasting and outperforming the competition.

While the internal combustion team had a fourhour inspection, the eLancer 1 had to pass the same mechanical inspection along with an electrical systems inspection, called eTech. The EV passed the mechanical technical inspection, no easy feat for a new car.

“The pressure is intense,” van Haaster said. “The list of universities that can field the quality engineering required to design and build a vehicle in one of the competition categories is small; the list of universities that have a program mature enough to produce two vehicles is probably less than a dozen across the nation.”

During this year’s competition, Tesla sponsored several first-year EV teams with power cells. CBU was awarded nearly $10,000 worth of Tesla power cells to energize the motor.

Jordan Fabbrini (‘22), outgoing president of the SAE club, said the most memorable part of this experience was seeing the vehicle finish the endurance race.

“The team has worked so hard to get to this point and we finally get to see the team’s efforts pay off,” Fabbrini said.

Every year the team designs the car in the fall semester and manufactures it in the spring semester.

“Once the build is complete, we transition to testing for about a month. The most challenging part is testing,” Fabbrini said. “We had multiple engine failures, which made it very frustrating because we’ve spent so much time designing and building the car.

Then you realize there’s still even more work you must do to get the car ready for competition.”

David Everhart, an electrical and computer engineering senior and incoming president of the EV team, said the highlight of the competition was talking with professionals in the field.

“Talking with the design judges and the sponsors who came out to the event made it all worth it,” Everhart said. “We were able to talk knowledgeably to the engineers about things they do on a daily basis.”

The team starts preparing for the next competition upon returning from the previous season’s competition.

Lindsay Monroe, a mechanical engineering junior and incoming president of the internal combustion vehicle, said preparation for the competitions take dedication to the vehicle and to each other.

“As soon as we can, we get the car out on the track and begin testing it to validate our designs,” Monroe said.

“It’s so worth it because you will learn invaluable lessons on how to work with an engineering team, meet deadlines and expand your skills in both knowledge and craft.”

Why you need dental insurance in retirement.

Many Americans are fortunate to have dental coverage for their entire working life, through employer-provided benefits. When those benefits end with retirement, paying dental bills out-of-pocket can come as a shock, leading people to put off or even go without care.

Simply put — without dental insurance, there may be an important gap in your healthcare coverage.

When you’re comparing plans ...  Look for coverage that helps pay for major services. Some plans may limit the number of procedures — or pay for preventive care only.  Look for coverage with no deductibles. Some plans may require you to pay hundreds out of pocket before benefits are paid.  Shop for coverage with no annual maximum on cash benefits. Some plans have annual maximums of $1,000.

Medicare doesn’t pay for dental care.1

Previous dental work can wear out.

That’s right. As good as Medicare is, it was never meant to cover everything. That means if you want protection, you need to purchase individual insurance.

Even if you’ve had quality dental work in the past, you shouldn’t take your dental health for granted. In fact, your odds of having a dental problem only go up as you age.2

Early detection can prevent small problems from becoming expensive ones.

Treatment is expensive — especially the services people over 50 often need.

The best way to prevent large dental bills is preventive care. The American Dental Association recommends checkups twice a year.

Consider these national average costs of treatment ... $217 for a checkup ... $189 for a filling ... $1,219 for a crown.3 Unexpected bills like this can be a real burden, especially if you’re on a fixed income.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on 08/12/2022 at 08:30 A.M. in Dept. T1 located at 41002 COUNTY CENTER DRIVE, #100 TEMECULA, CA 92591.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court.

COMMUNITY

Riverside César Chávez Community Center to receive $25 million in renovations Last week, Governor Gavin Newsom signed off on the state’s $308 billion budget, with some of those funds now heading towards a Riverside community center JONATHAN LINDEN | CONTRIBUTED

$25 million from the state budget will be going towards the renovation of the César Chávez Community Center in Riverside, which is nearly 100 years old and owned by the city. “This building is a beautiful architectural masterpiece, but it’s old, and there’s been very little renovation,” said Riverside Arts Academy (RAA) president Collette Lee.

The RAA offers over ten free classes and programs at the community center, including a youth orchestra, a Saturday choir program, and a children’s mariachi group. “So our program is about changing lives, but we use music as that instrument of change,” Lee said.

Lee says there are no set renovation plans for the community center, but that they have some key things that they’d like to improve.”We’re looking

at the auditorium, we’re looking at renovating the dressing rooms, the lighting system, putting a soundboard in,” Lee said.

“We’d like to have practice rooms, piano labs, those types of things that really make a difference.”

The $25 million in renovations funds were advocated for by Riverside Assemblymember Jose Media, who also helped obtain an additional $220 million for four other projects within his district.
